Dominic, congrats to beautiful 4th place at the olympics. It's a big succes. And I believe you can get a medal at the next games. For a distance runner, you are still young and your time is yet to come!
I only know he's waiting the 10 years for citizenship approval, but it's been requested for fast-track. You have to remember, he fled Sudan, but is still Sudanese. Also, he opted out od the traveling refugee running team, which was very brave, but I'm sure comes with its own bag of political complications as they probably don't wanna to incentivize athletes "jumping ship" in-country while touring with the refugee team.
he’s running for the olympic refugee team. He ran for switzerland at the european championships. I think that the IOC doesn’t allow athletes to compete for a country if they’re not a citizen yet. Pretty sure he has an asylum or a permit residency. European athletics made an exemption for him but World athletics didn’t want to do that too. So he decided to compete for the refugee team since he doesn’t have another choice. He’ll definitely compete for switzerland in the 2025 world championships
Is there any way I can get a discount on my order because I'm a new teacher in a new district and I need some better shoes to teach in all day? I'll give you a shout out on socials if that helps!

Beautiful life journey!
To start as a refugee and become 4th best in the Olympics is already a victory.
So sad seeing lobalu fall in last 5000 m on olympic😢
He was qualified later and finished 4th in final! I really wished him a medal, but still it is an amazing achievement.☺️
Which language is he speaking in? Sounds Nilotic!
What is the music? Someone please.
The composer is William Ryan Fritch, you can contact him on his website to ask
do we know why Dominic does not run under the Swiss flag at the olympics?

He should be able to as or 2026. So maybe in the 2028 Olympics he’ll be able to rep Switzerland.
